When Nigel Lee first discovered he had life-threatening cancer he said to a friend ‘this is when people get to see if I really believe all I’ve been preaching about all these years.’
We have. He did. And now he is with the Lord in the glory of eternity and the famous Lee smile is broader than ever.
Nigel’s craggy good looks, lively eyes and huge, toothy smile were the first things you noticed about him. His smile entered a room two feet in front of the rest of him, bespeaking his passion for the Lord and love for people. He was one of the most immediately engaging people you could ever meet. Everything about him made people want to follow Jesus, and to follow him as he followed Jesus. One friend said recently, ‘there are plenty of excellent teachers whom I enjoy learning from, but Nigel’s passion for God and his glory made me want to be like him’.
